Lo, THE pooT CIGAR INDIAN.
I'm humble wooden Indian, and all day hs
to stand
With bunch of wooden aFloras' in my paint
wooden hand;
Anu it makes me sad and weary to my7a
wooden core
To represent a warrior and stand before
store.
l display some wooGen feathers in my "
wooden hair,
And wooden are my moccasins and egsi1i
declare!
I'm a Pawnee Or Blackfoot, or Seminole
Crow,l
Or a Modoc or Shoshone, or q wild Arapahoe
Oh, I'm very weary, standing in my paint Of
and gold,
At the shop where rank @Regalias" for bali
dime are sold!
From my pedestal I'd like to jump and sTl
run away,
And go up to the Polo grounds and call on
Day,
And tell him that, although from head to-!
I'm made OF pine,
I'd like, e'en as wooden man, to get upon
"nine,"
Because I'd like to help him in the wono''
pennant race,
And I'd do it if he'd only let me play on SECT
base.
DESTINED TO FORTUNE.
